Destiny is the only goat I have without horns. She is a long story. My friend’s mom gave her to me b/c she was sick. When I got her she had been in a Coma for a month. The only life she had was the slight twitch of her eye. My friend’s mom just couldn’t say goodbye. And she knew if I had to make the choice I could do it.
This was her. Anyone who knows goats knows this is not good
After research I diagnosed her with Polioencephalomalacia.. I later had my vet confirm it. It’s not fairly common. In fact my friends vet diagnosed her with Rabies. So as you can guess you have to have seen it to know it.
Anyways He said it was too late to do anything.
I began giving her large doses of Vit B complex and a wide variety of other vitamins. And I would spend hours sitting by her and just reading books. (We had to tube her food and water)
Well slowly I mean slowly. She began to show more signs of life. We got her up into a sling to help her regain circulation and we massaged her legs
.
Her neck was really kinked.
Then one day she stood with a lil support(my mom and cousin)
Then she began small steps until finally she could walk on her own. Mostly in circles though.
She was very shaky and the slightest bump would set her sprawling.
Zoey became her best friend
(Her kink)
Today she is practically normal..Just recently her neck has straightened the only thing wrong is that her jaw is crooked.
She is really attached to me. Mom says its b/c when she was in her coma I would read her books. I would sit of hours reading to her. She is my baby.
She was my third unwalking baby. My first was a lil Lamb called Flicka. Sadly I had to have my vet put her down.
The other was a baby goat Called Abby (Abbys namesake) She was blind and had naval Ill and couldnt walk.
They both were given to me.. In hoped I would get them well. But I just couldnt. We miss them both.
